Hello Mr Cornwell hope the writing is going well. I looked up Llanderfel Wales a beautiful place with a wonderful church. Did you know there was a St Derfel Gadman who died fighting with Arthur at Camblan? I shall pursue the Monastery there and let you know. I do look forward to Azincourt and hoping you tackle Robin hood in a three book series. Yes I know we readers just want you at your computer all day with Sunday off to go sailing. Sounds fair? Regards Nicholas Langrick.

Hello Mr Cornwell, it seems the church and the monastery at llanderfel are both little more than mounds of earth.A great pity. The countryside around there looks beautiful. On looking this material up on the internet made me realize just how much early English history I did not know about. There was a wooden statue of St Derfel Gadman that was was used to help burn a man whom Oliver Cromwell disliked. Some of these men were worse than some my [teachers?] in the English educational system of the fifties and sixties. Have you ever thought of doing a book on Oliver Cromwell’s son? He lived a long life and managed to slip back to England during the reign of Charles the Second . The story would make a good long book.

On a different tack. Do any members of the Sharpe films talk or contact you about your books? Sean Bean is Sheffield United supporter so he cannot be perfect about everything. Regard Nicholas.
